Maggie Scarf on the Mind-Body Connection

Diane Rhems interviewed Maggie Scarf about her book on the mind-body connection on June 2, 2004. This is what got me moving to get help for Debbie's problem's with her wrists. This was life changing for us!

Deitrich Bonhoeffer on "religionless" faith

You would be surprised, and perhaps even worried, by my theological thoughts and the conclusions that they lead to: and this is where I miss you most of all, because I don’t know anyone else with whom I could so well discuss them to have my thinking clarified. What is bothering me incessantly is the question what Christianity really is, or indeed who Christ really is, for us today.

The time when people could be told everything by means of words, whether theological or pious, is over, and so is the time of inwardness and conscience – and that means the time of religion in general. We are moving towards a completely religionless time; people as they are now simply cannot be religious any more. Even those who honestly describe themselves as ‘religious’ do not in the least act up to it, and so they presumably mean something quite different by ‘religious.’
